Template:Math
{1}
The Math template formats HTML- or wikimarkup generated mathematical formulas in the same manner as HTML based TeX formulas, which uses a serif-based font. The generated formula is displayed using the same-size font as the adjoining text. The template will prevent line-wrapping.
Use this template for non-complex formulas as an alternative to using the "math" tag format "<math>...</math>.
Usage
Use this template to wrap an inline formula in wikitext. Examples:
{math|''x''<sup>2</sup> + ''y''<sup>2</sup> {=} ''r''<sup>2</sup>}
- produces: x2 + y2 = r2
{math|{minteg|0|+∞|{mexp|−''x''} d''x''} {=} 1}
- produces: ∫+∞
0e−x dx = 1
'''{math|{frac|1|2} − {frac|1|3} {=} {frac|1|6}'''
- produces: 1⁄2 − 1⁄3 = 1⁄6. Note the triple-apostrophes have set the whole formula as bold.
{math|(√2)2 = 2}
- produces: (√2)2 = 2.
{math|''x''<sup>2</sup> + ''y''<sup>2</sup> {=} ''r''<sup>2</sup>}
- produces: x2 + y2 = r2, same as first example, but using double-apostrophes to get italic font.
Use of equals-sign
If a single equals-sign ("=") is used, it will fail to render, instead showing "{1}". For example, the following template-coding would be invalid:
{math|1 + 2 = 3}
- produces: {1}, which is invalid code
To resolve this, either: (a) Start the formula with "1=" as in:
{math|1=1 + 2 = 3}
- produces: 1 + 2 = 3, or else, (b) include the equals-sign in double-braces "{=}" as in:
{math|1 + 2 {=} 3}
- produces: 1 + 2 = 3.
